    trailing zero in Decimal

    Hello everyone,


    Mentioned here,

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...al(VS.80).aspx


    What means "The scaling factor also preserves any trailing zeroes in a Decimal number"? Could anyone show me a sample please?


    thanks in advance,
    George

    It probably means that 1.23000 and 1.23 though computational equivalent, are different values for a decimal. They might be equal but will produce different outputs when .ToString()'ed.

    She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.
